Q30:

A rectangular photograph is surrounded by a border that is 1 inch wide on each side. The total area of the photograph and the border is M square inches. If the border had been 2 inches wide on each side, the total area would have been (M + 52) square inches. What is the perimeter of the photograph, in inches?

A. 34

B. 36

C. 38

D. 40

E. 42

I can only until

xy=M

(x+1)(y+1)=M+52

(x+1)(y+1)-xy=52

(x+2)y-xy=52

and solve x=25, y=26.

But can't find the perimeter=40, which is D.

Can anyone please help?

Thank you very much.

But according to , x=25, y=26, the answer is 2(25+26)=82

how come?

(x+1)*(y+1) = M; (x+2)*(y+2) = M + 52

以下是引用hitlzc在2006-6-19 9:16:00的发言：
(x+1)*(y+1) = M; (x+2)*(y+2) = M + 52

这样算下来， x+y=49, 所以photograph的周长是98，那位xdjm给验算一下。感谢！！

x+y=20

(x+2)*(y+2) = M; (x+4)*(y+4) = M + 52
